I've enjoyed several of Steven Soderbergh's films. Traffic, Solaris, Erin Brokovich, and Out Of Sight were all very good, and the Ocean's series were at least fun to watch if not exactly great cinema.
I couldn't get through 30 minutes of The Informant!. I was waiting for something to develop; comedic, dramatic, at least some sort of anticipation...but nothing. I couldn't develop an interest in any of the characters nor was I interested in whatever crime or plot that was apparently going on.
I came away with the feeling that the entire project was an exercise in the "you just don't get it",or the "too cool for you" mindset.

- Not quite. He makes popcorn films and more serious ones. The former pay for the latter. No one could seriously - tinear 09:26:25 04/19/10 (0)
